Letter from ReveiIle.
REvEILLE (Nye County,,
March 1. 1887.


ED. News VIM. Woods, who came
here last Fall from Taylor, where he
was we'll known. lost his way on the
night Of the cath of February and
was frozen to death in a canyon about
mile south of town. His body was
found two days after and buried.
Times are getting lively here. The
new smelter has made a trial run and
worked smoothly and up to the expec-
tation of the owners. II will start up
again tomorrow with about 800 tons
of good ore on the dump and twice
that amount at the mine. Mr.. Clarke's
perseverance now promises to be
crowned with success, and instead of
shipping our ore to Eureka. as had
heretofore been done, we will send
the bright silver billion.
Norris Bros. have leased the ella
mine and mill from Ex-Governor Ad-
ans, and ten men ara at work in the
mine and will soon have ore enough to
start the mill, when larger force
will be put in the mine.
The choriders in all this section
are doing we'll and looking happy.

Parties in from Hamilton inform us
that VIM. Hayes. an old and respected
citizen of that place, has been arrested
on two charges of embezzlement, and
held in the sum of $4,000 on each
charge, which he failed to give and is
now in Jail. Testimony in the causes
was being taken before Judge Bush,
with closed doors, Tor three days be-
fore our informant lett. The trouble
comes out of stock dealings with Mr..
HAYES as broker, transacted for other
parties. Knowing, as We do, Mr..
Hayes for so long as an honest man,
we suspend comment till we learn the
true nature of his offending.

here in force lobbying against all
laws that would prevent
drunkard-making, but the agra
eating liquor lobbyists are of anoth-
er class. Whether they are here
out of an inherent impulse of their
own total depravity or as the paid
agents of liquor men and liquor
politicians, for lack of positive evil
dence for the PRESENT. deponent
saith ut.
But it certainly is most aggrava-
ting to see men prominent in the
lower strata of politics, and well
known in the State, urging mem
bers to oppose the Scientific Tenn
perance Instruction Bill, and try
ing to trick others into absenting
themselves when the final vote
comes on the Amendment.
Republican members fairly boil
ed over with indignation on being
approached with this contemplate
trick, by a we'll know Republican
politician. Thanks to the livelier
good sense of the people, the pres
ent Legislature is not made of such
gullible stuff, and the occupation of
political lobbyists of the baser sort
is we'll nigh gone; and when the
saloons are all gone we shall hear
of them in West Virginia no more
forever. With what enthusiastic
joy, then, should all the good anu
honest people hail the rush and
whirl of the coming cyclone that
shall sweep every cancerous saloon
from every hillside and valley of
our young mountain State.

CHARLESTON ABLAZE WITH
PROHIBITION ENTHU-
SLASH.
CHARLESTON, W. VA,
Monday Night. Jan. 81

1t is no extravaganza to say that
Charleston is ablaze with Prohibi-
ton enthusiasm, and everybody
can see and feel that its getting
hotter and hotter.
A simple announcement on Sun
day that Rev. Mr.. Belts would
speak on Prohibition at State st.
NJ. K. Church packed the church
to its utmost capacity, and more
than hundred went away, not be-
ing able to crowd themselves into
the aisles and vestibule.
For more than one hour the
speaker poured hot shot into the
saloon ranks especially aiming his
direst Greek fire at the politicians
who stand between the Home and
the Saloon, preventing the People
from getting at the common enc
my.
Mr.. Belts speaks at Dickinson
Chapel, under the CapitoPs shadow
tomorrow night, and will have
more than house full to hear him.
In letters already forwarded the
progress of the Amendment was
followed up to Saturday, when it
was ordered to it's second reading
in its Original integrity. The
friends of the measure have deter
mined that the people shall have
that for which they have asked or
that the refusal to give it shall
rest where it belongs. 1t is with
the Democratic majority in the
Senate to say whether they are
willing to assume the fearful re-
sponsibility of another spurning
and denial of the Peoples petitions.
We don't believe they will want to
bear such load home to their
constituents.
blouse Joint Resolution No. L"
got go far down on the calendar
that it could not be reached to-day,
but by unanimous consent it was
taken up and made the special or
der for tomorrow at $50 p. NJ,
when it will come up on its second
reading. While its progress is vex-
atiously slow, the prospects of its
safe passage between the Scylla
and Charybdis OF Saloon and Home
pressure are now brighter than at
any time during the contest.
Let us hope that the Voice of
the People is about to be heard.

CHURCH AND PULPIT.

The members of the Baptist
church have rendered Rev. G. M.
Shott, who so ably filled the pulpit
in that church on Sunday, call.
Rev. Shot was not prepared to ac-
cept the call while here, but will
notify the church Immediately af-
ter his return to his home as to
whether he can accept or not

Prohibition n Failure In Atlanta.

The new city Council at Allan
ia has licensed a large number of
wine rooms. The organ of the
Prohibitionists declares the law q
failure, and states that whisky and
beer are sold about as freely as
ever Neaos.
That is local option, non.parti-
san Prohibition, such as the News
advocates, and. according to the
News item, it is fzzle. What
Atlanta needs is State law that
will go to the root of the evil and
shut off the making of the stuff.
Local option or high license do not
touch the manufacture, and when
once it is made it will End a mar
ket. The News article Of liquor
legislation is a confessed humbug.

On the Amendment MIR.
HOke of PrestOn-Aye.

Judge J. T. Hoke of Preston coun-
ty, had somewhat to say against the
Freemen when it reached his desk
the other day, because his name
was not among the ayes on the
Amendment. The number was Civ
en- correctly, So, but his name was
not to be found.
The fault was in the public
printer who by oversight had lost
his name in setting the Journal.
One of these first impressions of the
Journal supplied the Freeman
with the proceedings of that day.
The correction was made in the
House next morning, and we here
and now proclaim abroad that with
our own Prohibition ears we heard
Judge Hoke ring out clear, bold,
honest, AYE, on the Amendment
just as he votes aye on every meas
IRE proposed for the advancement
of the cause of Righteousness, Tenn
perance and Prohibition.

PROHIBITION RREEZES.
RreeZes and Little Whirl-
winds. PremOnitOry of
the Coming Cyclone.
Freeman Capitol Notes.

There are two leading topics of
intense interest and general con-
versation, in halls, hotels, on street
corners, everywhere. These are
the Prohibition and Senatorial
questions, and what is true in
Charleston, in this respect, is true
all over the State, if we may Judge
from the State press and the letters
pouring in from all counties. The
deadlock on the Senatorial ques-
ton and the stubborn resistance to
the Amendment in the Senate
only prolongs the agony and in
tensities the interest. Indeed the
air is full of Prohibition everywhere
and the very prayers of the women
seem to be supplying the ozone,
that so WHITES and surcharges the
atmosphere with the inspiration of
Home-protection against the sa-
| loon curse.

No Chance for DOdgfng.

It's no use for an anti prohibition
Delegate or Senator trying to
dodge the Prohibition club that's
swinging in every direction. On
Sunday Rev. Vibbert of Boston, de-
livered four stirring addresses at
tour different places, one to a large
audience in the House of Delegates
Hall. A number of the few ants
received sore hits at these meetings,
But an incident of the day created
much jovial com ment. Mr.. Lucas
and Mr.. Flournoy two of the lead
ing enemies of the Amendment,
went to the Baptist Church to hear
Rev. MIR. Kinsey, Delegate from
Marion, who was expected to
preach in the pastors absence.
What was their confusion when
the Rev. Mr.. Belts of Michigan
took the stand and proceeded to
puluerize the enemies of the Amend
ment in his peculiar style. We shall
not repeat the red hot words used
by Mr.. Bettis,a as reported to us. They
were certainly forctb!e, but many
of the friends of the cause will not
insist that they were either elegant
or effective of good results. Sena-
tors and Delegates are gleefully
plying their jokes at these aatis
over their mishap in being am
buscaded and drawn under the
fury of this surcharged Belts bat
tery of hot shot.

Fighting For Quarter.

An incident showing the desper-
ate straits to which the saloon
forces are being driven, caused
quite a sensation in Dickinson
Chapel on Sunday night. 1t was
the occasion of a Union Bible Meet
ing and the Church was filled.
Mr.. Flournoy was called on for an
address. The Honorable Senator was
doubtless smarting under the ef-
fects of the afternoon fusillade from
the Belts repeaters, and being 30
full of enmity TO Prohibition in the
abstract he could not resist the
temptation to open up the flood
gates of his rhetorical wrath on
this awful heresy of the Prohibi-
ton Amendment. He was per-
mitted to relieve his anti-prohibi-
ton pressure without reply, as this
was Bible Meeting and the friends
of Temperance had no desire to
suspend the rules of the church
and take up blouse Joint Resolu,
ton No. l."
The Comcenfric Tide.
Everywhere is seen the potent
evidence of the rising of the con-
centric tide of Prohibition, and
there are none 60 bold as to deny
the speedy elimination in the
final engulfment of the saloon
system.
The strangest thing of it all is
the fact that the champions here
of the liquor mems forlorn hope,
are frank to admit that it's "bound
to como" And little less strange is
it. that they should 60 recklessly
throw themselves ia the way of
the inevitable.

He Sticks to a Friend.

President Hill, of the Manitoba road, is
friend of Aleek Mckenzie from away
back. When Aleck was poor-almost
unknoWn-a job was put up by some
sharp operators to beat Mr.. Hill out of a
large pot of money in Il piece Of land in
which he had invested. Mckenzie saw
the fraud and stood by Mr.. Hill, although
he did not know him-as at that time Mr..
Hill was only a coal dealer in St. Paul.
But Alexis sense of fairness put him on
that side, and Mr.. Hill won what was
then big sum, forty or fifty thousand
dollars. This was the beginning of a
friendship between these two men, never
broken: and whenever Mr.. Till has II
chance 10 40 A!eck Il good turn il is done.
So there are more than likely good
grounds for the report taat a survey made
by Mckenzie for a road from EIlendale
via Bismarck through the coal region
north. connecting with the Manitoba ex-
tension at or near Min0t, il true. Mr..
Hill might not care for the road. but if it
would serve Aleck good turn he'd build
ii lust for that. Besides, when one comes
to look at the connection II makes and the
ground 1t covers, it's not bad line for
